Antioxidants

Antioxidants are a group of compounds that are capable of preventing oxidation. Within the body, essential molecules can be changed or destroyed by free radicals. These free radicals are highly reactive, unstable molecules that can oxidize essential molecules. This process of oxidation is the biggest known contributor of cell ageing, as well as being a major trigger for disease and loss of cell health. Because antioxidants prevent this oxidation, they are commonly taken to prevent ageing and to maintain health.

Green tea is believed to slowly increase the body's metabolic rate, making it a popular beverage for those who watch their weight. Green tea also contains a powerful antioxidant and free-radical scavenger known as polyphenols.

Goji Berries are the source of a lot of media attention, because they are considered to be very good for you. This is due to their high content of a lot of useful nutrients including vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Goji Berries have a high vitamin C content, even when dried.
